Obviously I don't need the Mazda to get to work daily right now. I can (and do) drive the Volvo regularly and it could certainly be pressed into daily duty if necessary. It's not a real practical commuter having only three gears, no power steering, and no power breaks. I have rental coverage, but between my family and my girlfriends their is usually a spare kicking around.
I've had a couple phone screens and am trying to schedule some follow up in-person interviews for those positions. I'm worried what I'll do when the first offer comes in if it's not something I'm in love with. I want to do something that excites me and that I enjoy, but in this economy I'd hesitate to pass on something/anything that gets me back on a payroll quickly.

It's actually an individual, not a company. But, the guy has 100+ positive reviews on Uship.com from driving cars and equipment for people between locations.
I'm not exactly happy about the situation, but it is what it is and I don't really have much legal recourse. Because a deer strike is covered under comprehensive coverage, and not collision . . . the insurance on the CAR is what kicks in, not the insurance on the DRIVER. If it had been an at-fault accident I think it might have been a difference situation. A tree could have fallen on the car when he stopped for the night, or someone could have backed into it at McDonalds and for insurance purposes not much would be different than a deer strike.
When my girlfriend and I were driving the truck down we saw ~50 dead deer on the stretch of I-81 through PA, MD, and WV.
